Old-School Fudge Tart

I will always come back to this retro dessert. I can't even remember if I had this at school, but I do remember my mum making this regularly, and it remains one of my favourites. She always used to serve it with chocolate custard, and the cold creamy fudge filling worked great with the warm custard. Traditionally it's topped with grated chocolate, and the filling is incredibly easy to make. You can make your own pastry if you want, but why bother.

Ingredients:

280ml milk
90g sugar
120g butter
60g plain flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
Grated chocolate

Ready made shortcrust pastry, baked to box instructions in an 8 inch pan

In a saucepan, pour half the milk and add in the butter.

Add the flour to the rest of the milk in a jug/bowl and mix until a smooth paste is formed.

On medium heat, bring the butter and milk to nearly boiling until the butter has melted.

Add the paste to the heated milk/butter mixture, quickly add the sugar and immediately whisk until everything is combined and smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and stir. You should end up with a smooth, thick filling.

Pour the hot filling into the baked pastry. Place in the fridge preferably overnight.

Slice, and sprinkle grated chocolate over.

Sweet chilli pork bites

This is a really simple and quick meal done in the air fryer. I used tenderloin of pork which is a very lean cut of meat and will cook very quickly, but feel free to use pork belly (in fact this is probably a better option as it's less likely to dry out!). The air fryer makes sure the meat has a nice crust but still keeps the inside tender. You can swallow fry or bake in the oven if you prefer. I served it with egg fried rice and a sriracha mayo, but this can easily be served with noodles, on a salad, or simply with a soy sauce/vinegar chilli dip. Make it your own. Because that's how cooking works.

Ingredients:

600g pork tenderloin cut into bite sized cubes
4 tbsp soy sauce
4 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp rice vinegar
0.5 tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp pineapple juice
1 tsp mirin
0.5 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

In a large bowl, mix the pork with all the listed ingredients. Marinade for at least 4 hours in the fridge.

In a preheated air fryer at 180 degrees, place the bites in the basket. Do not overcrowd, cook in batches if needed. Cook for 6 minutes then brush some of the marinade over the meat. Cook for another 5 minutes.

Serve with egg fried rice and sriracha mayo (mayonnaise, sriracha, honey and pinch of salt mixed together). Sprinkle over some chilli flakes if you like.

Easy beef bowl

I feel extremely rough. Here's a simple and tasty beef bowl with sriracha mayo. Enjoy. Or not. Who cares.

Ingredients:

For the beef:

500g beef mince 
1 tbsp oil
1 onion chopped
3 garlic cloves crushed
1 tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
3 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp mirin
Salt and pepper to taste

For the sriracha mayo:

3 tbsp mayo
1-2 tbsp sriracha
Juice from half a lemon
Pinch garlic granules
Pinch salt and pepper

To serve:

Fried eggs
Steamed rice

Mix the mayo ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.

In a pan on medium high, heat oil and fry the onions until soft.

Break up the beef mince and cook until the moisture has evaporated and the meat is sizzling. Drain any fat if needed. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant.

Sprinkle in the ground ginger, salt and pepper and cook for another minute. Add in the sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce and mirin and cook and reduce for a few minutes.

Serve with steamed rice and a fried egg on top. Drizzle the sriracha mayo all over.
